Chapter 1173
An unknown feeling came out, and Guo Shitong's chest felt tight and painful. After receiving the tip, Cao Jing glanced at it, his eyebrows visibly moved for a moment, and he hesitated suddenly. At this moment, Guo Shitong rushed over with a crotch.
Seize the tip.
There was a huge difference in skill between the two. Cao Jingruo couldn't stop him at the blink of an eye, but he didn't take action and let Guo Shitong successfully obtain the information. Xiao Zhiqing secretly thought something was wrong, and the next moment she heard Guo Shitong roar: "Father!
"
The sad voice hurt everyone's ears. Xiao Zhiqing even felt his ears buzzing. He didn't know that he had exploded with so much energy in an instant. Looking at his eyes were red, and although he didn't shed tears, his whole body was filled with tears.
Sad and a little chilly in my heart.
She looked at Cao Jing, who shook his head and said, "It's too late. Emperor Yuan ordered that General Guo be beheaded in public, and the rest will wait..."
Cao Jing has always been deserted, and now he can't bear to talk anymore. Xiao Zhiqing clasped his hands slightly, and Cao Jing sighed: "The rest of them were exiled thousands of miles away, and now they have left Sui City."
Cao Jing made a quick decision and grabbed Guo Shitong's shoulders: "Your father's death cannot be changed. The top priority is to rescue the rest of your family. Many people, old and young, died before they could reach the place of exile. If you are not awake, who will save them?"
!”
Guo Shitong's whole body was filled with rage, and he suddenly raised his head: "Let's go!"
The carriage stopped outside Sui City. They collected a lot of information through rest stops along the way, and then they knew how the Guo family ended. It seemed that the Guo family was to blame themselves.
It was clear that after receiving information that Emperor Yuan wanted to support the fourth prince, and that the third prince would definitely become an outcast, General Guo actually wanted to try again and encouraged the third prince to use the palace banquet to poison Emperor Yuan. He was even prepared for both.
, if the poisoning fails, she will be forced into the womb.
However, he was caught before the poison was administered. In order to save the third prince, General Guo claimed that he had done it alone and had nothing to do with anyone else. He originally wanted to commit suicide like the second prince's grandfather did, but he was stopped by the guards and forcibly entered.
Heavenly prison.
The third prince was also a ruthless man. In order to distance himself from the Guo family at the critical moment, he knelt down outside the Zichen Palace and claimed that he had never known about it. The matter was secret, and it was impossible for General Guo to make it known to everyone.
The prince actually relied on this to save himself.
However, it is also possible that Emperor Yuan didn't have many sons. One of them died and one ran away. Now he can't afford to lose the remaining three, so he turned a blind eye. In the end, the one who suffered the greatest loss was
Or the Guo family.
Although General Guo claimed that he had done it all by himself and was willing to die to apologize, how could he not implicate his family? Emperor Yuan said that since he had fought for the country in the Northern Desert and had benefited from the dragon's merits, he had given the Guo family a way to live.
Apart from him, there is no life.
But being sent to a bitter cold place is inevitable, and the place of exile is not far from Beiguan, so this move is also very meaningful.
All the veterans in the court knew that General Guo was at odds with Chen Tianxiao. Before Chen Tianxiao left Sui City, General Guo had been arguing with him for power. He and Qin Zuohuai were not at odds with each other, but there was no quarrel between civil and military affairs. Unlike Chen Tianxiao, he really
Life and death.
Emperor Yuan's move was clearly to send these people to Chen Tianxiao in vain, and his intentions could be described as vicious.
Guo Shitong, who knew the fate of the Guo family, was originally unable to calm down. As things came to light along the way, he rarely calmed down. Especially when he learned that his father was willing to commit suicide at the last moment to save the third prince, he even showed a self-deprecating smile.
Seeing his performance, Xiao Zhiqing and Cao Jing were both silent.
My father did not take care of his own relatives, but he treated the third prince as his own. He was not cruel to Guo Shitong, his biological son. Now General Guo was beheaded, the others left Sui City, and he became a fugitive.
The escape route Qin Feng left for the Guo family had to be used. After all, it was too late to give up. Guo Shitong knew that they had avoided official roads along the way and it was not easy to escape the search. Now that they were outside the city, it was even more impossible to enter the city.
The place where they stopped was exactly where the Guo family had just passed, and they would be escorted all the way north.
Under the night, Cao Jing's expression was solemn: "Our family still has important things to do, and we can no longer accompany General Guo. Miss Xiao will accompany Master Guo. We are currently short of manpower, but our family will try our best to help."
What happened to the Guo family was so sudden that it completely disrupted Qin Feng's plan. Now he is thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to help him from across the air. Cao Jing has been with Qin Feng for so long, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Too panicked.
"Brother Cao can enter the city with confidence. I will definitely help General Guo Shen rescue his relatives." Xiao Zhiqing said seriously: "Take care."
Cao Jing's face softened slightly, and after nodding, he finally jumped off the carriage and rode away in the night. The remaining two people also looked over and said: "General Xiao, the exile team is only ten miles away from us. The other party should leave more."
Just be slow, we can catch up at any time."
"It's easy to catch up, but it's hard to take them away," Xiao Zhiqing said decisively: "Don't be impatient. Wait until the supporting troops arrive before taking action. Let's catch up slowly first. What will Guo Shen think?"
"There is no general now, so just call me by my name." Guo Shitong is not in the mood to have any charming thoughts now. He and Xiao Zhiqing are now more like comrades fighting side by side. This is also thanks to his family relationship with Qin Feng. He
Only people can help themselves.
"Miss Xiao is absolutely right. Even if we can rescue him now, it will be difficult to take away such a big family." Guo Shitong's father had many wives and concubines. This time, a branch of the Guo family was not exiled, but the men in the house were also exiled.
No imperial examinations are allowed within five years.
But there were dozens of people in the Guo Mansion alone. There were only four of them in one carriage, so how could they be transferred?
No matter how sad and disappointed Guo Shitong was, he had to face reality. Seeing that he could handle it calmly, Xiao Zhiqing felt a little more relaxed. He followed him all the way first, but also had to protect himself from being discovered, and then make plans after the support arrived.
Besides, Cao Jing had to part ways with Xiao Zhiqing temporarily and entered the city quietly at night. Liu Changsheng looked slightly relieved when he saw him. During the day, Fang Zheng had already entered the city with the large army and brought back the medicine needed by Emperor Yuan.
I think tomorrow Emperor Yuan will announce that these drugs are what the fourth prince Xiao Lingyu is looking for, and really start to push him into the spotlight.
But none of them expected that General Guo would actually dare to slay the dragon and bring his family to the end he was in now. His head was also missing. His Majesty was angry. He was originally planning to have his head hung with a flag outside the city for public display.
It was implemented only after being blocked by the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty.
Cao Jing's face was expressionless when he heard this. How could Emperor Ren Yuan, who had experienced battlefield killings, show mercy to the person who attempted to kill him? If he hadn't considered trying to accumulate some virtue for the fourth prince, the rest of the Guo family would not have just been exiled.
Liu Changsheng whispered again: "Last time I went back to Jiangbei, my father and brother sent away a group of concubines who were not in trouble, and a lot of people were cut off in the backyard. It's just that the Liu family withdrew, and they really couldn't do it right.
There is an influence there.”
